Abstract
A series of new pyrazolo[3,4-f]quinoline derivatives were synthesized by multicomponent reactions of equimolar amounts of aromatic aldehydes 1, barbituric acids 2 (barbituric acid or 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid), and 5-aminoindazole 3 in mixed solvent of glacial acetic acid and ethylene glycol (2:1, v/v) without catalyst under microwave irradiation. This one-pot protocol has the advantage of good yields (91–94%), simple workup procedure, and short reaction times (5–6 min).
